 The nurses at Main Michigan Stratford Village are a part of the team because they not only organize their day, but also the day of the scene as far as the task. The customer service that they provide to the patient's families is vital in the day-to-day and also the communication with the providers keeping the providers updated on the patient condition and notifying them when there's a change in the condition and then they're also communicating with the pharmacy making sure that the medications are providing their timely manner and are the correct medications. I'm grateful for all of our 1,218 nurses within our healthcare system. Most importantly for those that are great at building relationships for being kind and caring and for also reaching out and putting themselves in the patients or maybe that family members or maybe that caregiver's shoes when something isn't necessarily going really well and they're showing the empathy and the kindness and providing the time and the effort to provide education, communication, and to really embrace that family and help them through this event. I am most thankful for the dedication that the nurses at Main Michigan Health show to the neighbors they have in their communities. They're taking care of people that live right next door across the road, people that they've seen grow up, people that have watched them grow up. It's a great honor to care for our community in that way and that's why I'm proud of these nurses. In the past, I've been asked to share advice for new employees. I've often shared my most favorite quote that's from John Maxwell. John Maxwell shared that people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. I'd like to expand on that just a little bit and we just want to let you know how much we care for you. You are awesome nurses in the backbone of our organization. I am grateful for the grace, skill, dignity, and intelligence you bring to all those you serve as they enter our buildings. Once again, thank you for all you do and we couldn't do it without you. I'm grateful for the nursing staff in post-acute care for working to promote health, prevent disease, and help patients cope with illness. They are advocates and health educators for patients, families, and communities. The nurses in post-acute care collectively drive approximately 175 miles, 1,000 miles each year to provide care to patients in the comfort of their own home. Due to the nature of providing patient care in the home setting, it requires a special nurse to do this job. The nurses in post-acute care have a passion for patient care. I'm so thankful for the RNs at Gracia for always striving to provide excellent care for our patients. It's such an honor and a privilege to be part of a health care team that is so dedicated and committed to providing quality and safe patient care to our family, our friends, and our community. Our nurses are so appreciated for all they do. Thank you. So grateful for the outstanding care that our patients at Michigan Health receive. You know I do hear negatives, I'm not going to lie, but overwhelmingly I hear compliments about the care that patients receive here from every aspect. Home care, hospice, urgent care, ED, ambulatory care, acute care, you name it, and I almost every week get compliments about the care that it's delivered here. So for so many reasons I am so proud that I work at Michigan Health and more importantly I'm proud that I'm a nurse. Thank you for everything that you do for Michigan Health. I'm grateful for each and every one of you.
